Celtic have enjoyed a fantastic 12 months under their Australian leader - and another 10 are needed as they bid to hold onto their kings of Scotland crown.
Ange Postecoglou took over as boss in the summer of 2021, overseeing a huge rebuild and claiming his first Premiership title. It's earned Champions League group stage football and there also will be a defence of their silverware in the Aussie's second term. That starts against an Aberdeen side this Sunday on flag day and it will be a tough test.
Jim Goodwin's men have enjoyed a strong Premier Sports Cup group stage campaign but the Hoops will be confident of starting their campaign on the right foot. Rangers playing more than 24 hours earlier against Livingston means they may go into the match trailing their rivals but that won't bother Celtic this early into the campaign.

Team news
Postecoglou is sweating on the fitness of Japanese midfielder Yosuke Ideguchi after he picked up a knock in training ahead of this one.
New signings Alexandro Bernabei, Benjamin Siegrist, Moritz Jenz and Aaron Mooy should be available for their first competitive outings in Glasgow.
Captain Callum McGregor said: “When you think about the people that have done it over the years, for the club to ask me to do it is a huge honour personally, and for my family to watch that,” he said.
“It’s always a brilliant day when you get to unfurl the league flag at Celtic Park. There’s a real buzz and energy about the place with plenty of anticipation of the new season ahead.
“I’m very grateful to get the opportunity to do it and once we get it out the way it’s down to business and making sure we perform and get the three points.
“The excitement of a new season spurs you on and the challenge is to go and be champions again.”
